French tarragon is a staple of almost every kitchen garden. French tarragon is a hardy perennial that produces masses of long, narrow, aromatic foliage. The plant is easy to grow in a sunny spot with well drained soil. Its foliage is rich in vitamins and can be used in a variety of recipes and vinegars. French tarragon has more flavor than Russian tarragon. Can be planted outdoors in the fall. May need extra protection from cold winters. -- edited by dtd pbcouchman
